Twitter is adding a dedicated GIF button to make your timeline and DMs more animated

Two years after adding support for GIFs, Twitter is officially adding a button to help you add GIFs to your tweets or direct messages without ever leaving the compose window, and it’s almost exactly as rumored.

Via a partnership with Giphy and Riffsy, Twitter’s new GIF button sits right between the photo and polls options (in tweets; it’s just to the right of the photo button in DMs). Click on it, and a search option lets you find the perfect GIF to add to your tweet.
